    I am having the same problem and nothing is working!  I am on the second computer (left my chord in MX and new one's not here yet).  I was having these problems before changing computers and thought it may have been my first computers problem.

    I tried the instructions above (they were given to me by the e-book co.) and got to the step *HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Softwar\Adobe\Adept

    I could only find:  HKEY_CURRENT_USER  with no other option so I had to stop there.  Any ideas?

    I have tried:

    1.  Uninstalling and re-installing 4.0 (and even 2.0 for Windows Vista) Digital Editions.

    2.  Erasing the authorization with the same results as donnas.

    I'd love help ASAP as I'm in my 3rd week of an online college class and can's access my eInvestigations Manual.

    Thanks!!!

    Hi Donna,

    Please share a screen shot of registry edition where you could only find HKEY_CURRENT_USER with no other option.


    Please make sure you run registry edition run as administrator.

      Ok!  This worked!!! 

      I typed Run in the box. . .  didn't know > means "type it in".  After that I was able to find all of the commands that I needed.

      If due to some reason, you are unable to deauthorize ADE, follow the below steps:

      Mac:

      1. Go-> Go to folder.

      Go to folder dialog will appear.

      2. Type   ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions

      drag the activation.dat file to the trash.

      ADE will be deauthorized now.

      Now Authorize ADE again [Help -> Authorize Computer].

      Windows:

      Choose Start > Run.

      In the Open text box, type regedit and then press Enter. The Registry Editor opens.

      In the left pane of the Registry Editor, locate the following registry key:

      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adept

      Right-click the Adept key and choose Delete.

      In the Confirm Key Delete dialog, click OK.

      Your authorization will be deleted.

      ADE will be deauthorized now.

      Now Authorize ADE again.

        1. Go-> Go to folder.

        Go to folder dialog will appear.

        2. Type   ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions

        drag the activation.dat file to the trash.
